Some folks in Lebanon had a bad day today. Apparently Israel figured out a way to make all their pagers blow up at the same time. Kinda like the Godfather taking out all the family’s enemies at the same time.
Also, this will clearly indicate whose involved with a certain organization.
Update (from Kate);
According to Arabic news: the H!zbollah pagers were imported 5 months ago and contained 20 grams of explosive PETN in the pager batteries, Mossad detonating them by increasing the temperature.
This does indeed sound like an Eli Cohen special.

Are they not handing out sweets in gaza for this?

I think there was an interception in the supply chain for the pagers, a bit of a low tech Stuxnet affair…
It’s not like normal “mom and pop” grocers were being targeted here.
Any word from the SCOAMF #Librano Turd?
Beat me to it, Brian. Next it’ll be exploding EVs 🙂

is it me, or is this “exploding pager” thing totally cool?
Who BTW, in 2024 carries a freaking pager?????
It seems in Lebanon, cel phones are more suspect so they reverted to pagers.
Drug dealers at Jane and Finch.
excellent news
This is terrible. The poor islamists will become totally paranoid. They may resort to writing letters to communicate. Oh, the horror.
From the Aljazeera report
“Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah had called on his fighters a few months ago to stop using smartphones because Israel has the technology to infiltrate those devices, Khodr said.”
So it looks like Hezbollah went back to pagers and the Israelis added an extra feature to the pagers before they were delivered.
There’s an app for that. Is it possible this feature wasn’t covered in the manual?
Apparently they felt it was some low tech way of surveillance avoidance. Kinda like a drug dealers flip phone.
They musta went one version too far up the tech scale when they purchased 3000 of pagers…
Know how you can pick out the hezbollah in a crowd? They are limping.
A hole blowed in the cheek of their butts.
A beeper is usually worn on your belt … near the front tube … which may have resulted in more than a slight limp.
Congratulations Mossad!! If you exist.
Aljazeera reports that 2,750 people have been injured. That will leave a gaping hole in the organization which will be filled with newbies many of whom will make mistakes.
I suspect the number of “injuries” is very small. The size of the blasts would be relatively small. Just more propaganda from the Arabs.
If you watch one of the videos, it looks like a very small Explosively Formed Penetrator, so a little jet of molten copper travelling at a couple hundred FPS would make a mess of anyone’s body
a perf jet???
Here is one of the videos for your viewing pleasure:

Should be easy to identify who is Hezbollah now…
@JD:
I watched one of the videos, a guy in a market and boom, like his balls were blown off. A whole lot of moaning, knees bent up to chest. It was gratifying to observe.
So… the 72 virgins are no longer an incentive???
Asking for a friend.
I hate to see people suffer, but these aren’t people, so… I wish I had emoji’s on this thing.
Still gotta hurt. They need to feel the pain.
Now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall … we want to blowww owwww owww owww owwww owwww you up!
Better than sharks with frikin lasers. How many were injured at Canadian universities?
Maybe our state broadcaster will look into that?
Maybe staff at our state broadcaster suffered some injuries.
Best comment so far, “…I hope they got the message.”
“After the boom, please call an ambulance.”
Good luck Mr. Phelps … this message will self destruct in 5 sec.
@ OKate:
So true.
This is brilliant, actually. It would make it much more difficult for the terrorists to communicate and they will now be fearful of any sort of devices.
Guess they’ll have to get back to basics with paper cups and a piece of string.
Agreed. The psychological impact is gotta be massive.
1. Is this thing gonna blow up on me?
2. Maybe that secure communication with Abdul wasn’t as secure as I thought.
UN workers hardest hit?
No way these are overheated batteries. Someone snuck blasting caps into a whole batch of pagers.
“No way these are overheated batteries. Someone snuck blasting caps into a whole batch of pagers.”
100%. The batteries themselves would give more of a fast burn than an explosion capable of doing that much damage. Possibly RDX, Semtex, HMX or the like with a mini blasting cap…I would suspect that, given the lack of space inside a pager, they were provided with ‘special’ batteries containing an internal surprise.
How would they make them all go off at the same time?
Program them to react when paged by a certain number.
“Program them to react when paged by a certain number.”
Yes, but how? How do you make that certain number send an electrical impulse to a specific pin or terminal on a circuit board? These pagers might have to be *purpose built* to do this.
Did you read the intro at the top of this segment?
my thoughts too , a lithium battery doesnt blow up like an episode of farmfilm blowup .

The logistics of accomplishing that, rates yer nonsense at zero. Israel probably installed a program remotely, to accomplish that.
How many rockets have been launched from Lebanon by Hezbollah since Oct. 7? I’m not even counting all the rockets before Oct. 7. All the disproportionate response a-holes can shut up. I say, good work.
If you say, good work, the fact that the pager exploding devices did not discriminate between civilans and combatants, well then, your morality and ethics are no better than that of the Hezbollah. Or the IDF (Lavon Affair, attempted sinking of the USS Liberty, etc etc).
Oh boo hoo. If they carried a Hezbollah pager, they were not civilians.
This was missing in news. Questioning it.
“Or the IDF (Lavon Affair, attempted sinking of the USS Liberty, etc etc).”
Lavon Affair, sure.
USS Liberty? *Not even close* to being any sort of ‘op’….all the conspiracy theories about it were debunked decades ago.
The vibration alert is a little strong on those pagers
Ha!
MSM’S reliable hamas/hezbollah journalists report a hezbollah spokesman says malware found in recently received pagers. However, Lebanese leadership continues to blame Israel.
Does this mean Iran must now pay a higher per diem to their proxy “soldiers” in their proxy war with Israel? Have hamas terrorists tossed their pagers, too?
All the pagers exploding, I’m envisioning the end of the movie Caddy Shack, when Carl flips the switch detonating all the C-4 be buried around the golf course.
If it a malware issue then every lap top, cell phone, and EV are potential bombs.
It took a lot of balls for Mossad to plan and execute this, literally a lot of balls
Heznobollah
Happiest crew in Gaza and southern Lebanon are the goats.
Heh. +++++
From X;
“It’s not all bad news for Hezbollah, the unused family plan minutes can roll over to next month.”
https://x.com/TristinHopper/status/1836082550315290673
Ha ha !!!
The funny thing is that Israel can deny, and just recommend Hizballah find a better provider for suicide vests.
if you csn’t stand behind what you do, don’t do.
I would not want to be that Hezb guy who said “ok, our cell phones aren’t safe, here, everybody take a pager . . . “
The most satisfying, and unsurprising result of this is that the Iranian Ambassador was injured. Gosh, I wonder why.
Maybe he needs to explain what he was doing with a Hezbollah pager.
Want a conspiracy theory? You’re already carrying, maybe even reading this message, on the same thing.
Why do you think Samsung went to non replaceable batteries a few years ago?
Maybe all those swelling and overheating issues were a malfunction of version 1.0 of the government kill device. It’s been refined.
It wasn’t the batteries.
Thomas,

My g-d the memes are glorious.
Yes the cat memes were slowing down. I appreciate the new meme topic.
So, that warm feeling in one’s pants was related to goats after all. I’m stealing it ‘Great Balls of Fire!’
Did, e.g.,Justin, Amira Elghawaby, Jagmeet, Shree Paradkar, Twotier Fakeir, Angela Rayner, Ilhan Omar, Cameltoes Ofwillie have theirs on them at the time?
We all know that Justine has no balls to be blown off from his exploding pager
There’s only one way this gets better. If the message that triggered the pagers was “yippee ki yay, motherfuckers.” That would be epic.
I don’t know why, but this immediately came to my mind…
